Disney+ boasted 57.5 million subscribers at the end of June 2020
EsquireCats said:The number one complaint I hear about Disney+ is that there are frustratingly large gaps in the catalogue and these are not necessarily the first or last seasons, but a random sprinkling throughout. In the last year there doesn't appear to be any significant progress made about resolving these which might indicate that the problem is due to stakeholder issues.
I feel like Disney+ will reach a point where it becomes tougher for them to gain new subscribers as it becomes harder to convince more and more people to pay for content they've already seen, or could easily see through other means such as cinema.
I remember when the unofficial slogan for iLife was "What's the point in having millions of applications on Windows, if the four I want are on the Mac." I feel this is why services such as Netflix won't suffer as badly as I had originally thought. These services have a good reputation for producing excellent content that can't be seen anywhere else. If it came down to having to choose between content I've already seen but loved, versus seeing "that new hot show", I daresay the new stuff might win - because the consumer knows they can always return to Disney+ later, or simply purchase the exact titles they want through other channels/mediums.
Any current gaps (although I don't know of any "frustratingly large" ones for adult programming) are likely due to syndication deals done long ago that haven't run out yet.
Disney+ is a service for families with young children (think DVD replacement), and adult Star Wars, Marvel, or Simpsons super fans.
What's going to limit their penetration is that those groups, while large, aren't *everybody*. Not sure why an adult who's not a superfan would subscribe long term, instead of just now and then to binge a new show.
